February began with several fabulous sails in Corpus Christi
Bay. Then we were off to the Hooking Bull Boat Yard in Rockport
for a few weeks. For the first time, we sailed all the way
up the Corpus Christi ship channel to Port Aransas. From there,
we turned into the Lydia Ann channel, which leads to Rockport.
With the wind on our nose and a high incoming tide, the trip
up the ship channel was slow-going as we short-tacked and
motor-sailed our way among ships, barges, ferry boats, and
an incoming navy fleet.
The trip back to Corpus in March was more enjoyable. We couldn't
resist a quick side trip into the Gulf of Mexico for Caribbean
Soul's first venture into "blue" water. Although
we didn't get far from shore, "out there" was just
beyond the horizon, beckoning us to keep sailing toward freedom
and adventure. But that will be another day....
